Description This is my entry for the contest: Twist Fate   

I decided to do one based off the classic tale of "Jack and the Beanstalk".  I twisted it so that:

Jack is now a poor giant who lived in the clouds.  One day, he had to trade in his and his mother's goose for whatever they could get.  But along the way to sell it, he met an older giant who told him about three beans he needed to plant in the ground (clouds) and they would bring him riches.  He took them and planted them when he got home.  But as they were in the clouds, the seeds fell to the earth and grew a giant beanstalk.  He soon discovered it and climbed down it, only to discover a whole new land and a giant kingdom in the distance.  He traveled towards it, only to find it was occupied by small people, who ran in terror from him.  He sees a ordinary cow nearby but soon sees it produces golden milk.  He decides to swipe the cow and runs back to the beanstalk.  But suddenly a large group of these small people pursue him....

Overall, I swapped the roles of Jack and the giant to where the giant is the "protagonist" and the humans are the "antagonists".  Instead of a golden goose, it is a golden cow that "Jack" the giant is after.

An inventive and fascinating twist on the original tale Makes one consider the consequences of one's actions. The design of the castle itself is also very appealing!

thanks man!  ^^  I was browsing what others had done and I didn't see one doing a twist of Jack and the Beanstalk, so why not do it I asked myself.

(Is that a Sarranid Sultinate castle I see in the background?

Thanks, and just keep practicing. Practice makes perfect.

And I guess so... I just thought it would be cool to do, as it was like some illustrations I saw made of the giant's castle in the original story.

It just looked like a tan sand castle and since I've been playing m&b recently I'm seeing stuff.
